Eye Sculpture Contains 470 Pencils

Stereohype's Fine Art Giclée Prints are printed on demand on super-elegant Hahnemühle German Etching Textured 310gsm. This is one of Hahnemühle's genuine artist papers, mould made, 100% acid free paper with an exceptionally smooth surface. This velvety heavyweight etching board has a fine surface texture. German Etching is one of the most popular media for artwork and photography. The paper is made of 100% cotton or pure alpha cellulose presenting a textured surface that allows high quality printing. Artworks are printed with archival inks – a ten colour ink set including orange and greens for vivid and long-lasting results.

This illustration by London-based FL@33 has first been published on a double-page spread in 0fr Magazine, Paris, in July 2002. It has later been reprinted as A2 poster for the book launch exhibition GB: Graphic Britain at Magma Gallery, London. Pencils on this print are life size (original size).

FL@33 is a multi-disciplinary design studio for visual communication with over 20 years of experience. Its two founders met on the Royal College of Art's postgraduate Communication Art and Design course in London and set up their company there after graduating in 2001.

Since then, FL@33 has created an award-winning, internationally published body of work, ranging from self-initiated projects to commissioned work for clients from around the world, across many different sectors, regardless of size and budget. Their work spans from logos and visual identity systems to tone of voice, image-making to complete book designs, from magazine and book cover designs to posters and websites, moving image and spatial design.

The Franco-Austrian founding directors have been described as multi-lingual, multi-specialised design activists consistently striving to exceed expectations of their demanding clients – using wit and humour to create fresh, imaginative and engaging visual communication, products and interior designs.

FL@33 is today led by co-founding Creative Director Tomi Vollauschek – a Frankfurt am Main, Germany-born Austrian. He is an inspirational, passionate and dedicated designer who gives international lectures, judges, art directs, consults, designs, curates, exhibits, contributes to books and magazines, conceives, compiles, edits and writes his own internationally published books, runs workshops, teaches and also develops design products for the studio's sister company, Stereohype. Stereohype.com was launched in 2004 as an international platform for both emerging and established talents and is a graphic art label with an online boutique.

A FL@33 monograph (Design & Designer 033 – FL@33) was published in 2005 by Pyramyd. FL@33's Tomi Vollauschek (under the FL@33 tag) also authored and designed three books that were published worldwide by Laurence King and partner publishers: Postcard (2008), Made & Sold: Toys, T-Shirts, Prints, Zines and Other Stuff (2009) and The 3D Type Book (2011). In the same year FL@33’s popular online sound collection project bzzzpeek.com was exhibited in New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Together, Agathe and Tomi self-published the widely acclaimed Trans-form magazine (2001) and the tenth anniversary book and exhibition catalogue Stereohype 2004–2014 that Tomi conceived, compiled and designed.
